Changing default value of Insert Image to From Computer

[Inna]

Hi, when you click on Insert Image in thread or private message, by default the From URL is shown. But I want From Computer be default.
Is it possible? As I didn't see any options in options.php, then I think there should be some code modifications in the vB files or style, is that right?
Using vB 4.2.3 PL 2

I have pretty much the same problem. The FIRST time I insert a photo, it defaults to "From Computer" but every time after that, it defaults to "From URL" - I want the default to be "From Computer" EVERY time. Why should the default change? If it can't default to "From Computer" every time, it should default to use the the last method used to insert a photo. Disappearing external photos are a real problem for us, and we want to discourage them, NOT default to do it that way after the first photo has been uploaded. We have a lot of TOTALLY USELESS threads because the external photos have disappeared.

Also, the only option in PM's is to enter a url - there is no "From Computer" option.

Changing this would likely require hacking one of the core .JS files.

I believe there is at least 1 product that will store externally linked images locally, and a product that will allow images to be attached to PMs.
